Students may switch to another associate degree or technical diploma program by completing an application for
the new program. All admissions requirements apply for the new program and no priority is given for previously
admitted students. Program changes should be discussed with a counselor/advisor before a final decision is
made. If a student has been accepted to a program and is no longer interested in the program, the student should
indicate in writing his/her desire to be removed from the program and submit it to Admissions/Program
Enrollment. All students are limited to one active pathway.
If a student withdraws from a program or certificate, it is the student’s responsibility to also withdraw from
classes. A student may wish to continue in classes without pursuing a program or certificate, therefore Student
Services is not responsible if a student chooses to remain in classes after withdrawing from a program or
certificate. Withdrawing from a program may have an impact on financial aid eligibility.
REFUND POLICY
Refunds are processed according to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Refund Policy. Refunds
are applicable only from the date the student officially drops the course(s) through Enrollment Services, any
NWTC campus location, or my.NWTC.
All classes have a limited number of seats available. Registration reserves a seat in a class. Students who decide
to withdraw from a course should do so immediately, as a single day can make a difference in the amount of the
refund. Students will not be automatically dropped from classes by simply not attending or non-payment. Drop
requests are not accepted through instructors.
If a student registers for a class after its start date, they are subject to the refund policy as stated. Please note:
The official start date for on-line courses is the class start date published by the College. The start date is not
determined by the date the student first logs into the course or obtains the course materials.
Any refund under $4.00 will be issued only upon request by the student. Student refunds may be claimed by
NWTC to pay outstanding student debts or by the Financial Aid Office to cover grant repayments and
outstanding student loans.
All students receiving financial aid or enrolled in at least six credits will be mailed a Bank Mobile Refund
Selection Packet to the current address on file with the College approximately one week after initial registration.
It is a student’s responsibility to keep contact information current with the College. This packet is the key to
receiving any refunds from NWTC. Upon receiving the Bank Mobile Refund Selection Packet, students must
visit Refundselection.com and enter the personal code provided in the packet to activate and select their refund
preferences. The electronic refund options include deposit to another account and deposit to a BankMobile Vibe
account.
The WTCS Refund Policy states:
Drop before the first scheduled meeting of the course (and not adding another)
100% refund
Before or at the time 10% of the course’s total hours of instruction have been completed 80% refund
After 10% but before more than 20% of the course’s potential hours of instruction have
been completed
60% refund
After 20% of the course’s total potential hours of instruction have been completed
0% refund
After the first scheduled day of class, miscellaneous class-related fees (i.e. luncheon, insurance, etc.) are non-
refundable.
Students are fully responsible for tuition and fees. To avoid charges, late fees and collection activities,
students must pay class fees by the due date and must drop any classes through Enrollment Services.
